Gold Connection House Rules - Andy Merritt 1997
===============================================

A good game, but some of the rules just didn't seem right - maybe
my translation (Peter F Dwyer) is inaccurate, but if not then I
recommend these changes:

Stealing from an Opponent

 * Only allow this when an opponent has 10+ bullion in their safe
   (standard rules)

 * You may only attempt to steal the highest valued bullion bars in
   any (partial) set. eg. in a partial set of black bullion,
   1,2,3,4, it would be legal to try to steal, 4 or 4+3 or 4+3+2 or
   4+3+2+1, but trying to steal 2+3 or 1+2 would not be legal.

   This keeps stealing powerful, but not overwhelmingly so, as I
   found it without any restrictions on what could be stolen - it
   does this by making more complete sets more difficult to
   disrupt.

 * If the theft is successful and the player continues on and
   successfully ends their turn without busting then the victim of
   the theft gets 1 consolation point.  If the player attemped to
   steal and failed or successfully stole but then bust later in
   their turn then the victim does not get a consolation point.

   The original rules for this in my set were very odd - they said
   the victim would get a consolation chip if the theft failed. 
   This unbalancing the game rather than balances it, which IMO is
   a bad thing.
